Only then did Zhenhua understand what Zheng Huailiang meant, so he was in awe, picked up his glass and said, "Secretary Zheng, on behalf of Qi Lei, I would like to toast you!"

In fact, it is difficult to say whether Qi Lei is willing to let Zhenhua represent.

But Zhenhua felt that Zheng Huailiang took care of Qi Lei, and he was very moved, so he blurted out.

"Sit down, sit down!" Zheng Huailiang pulled Zhenhua to sit down and said:

"I see the difficulties of the villagers. But I'm also very embarrassed, on the one hand, there is a strong nostalgia, and on the other hand, there is the imperial grain and national tax. Alas...... In a word, our hometown is too poor. There is another thing you don't understand, I help Qi Lei, but also help myself. ”

"Help yourself?" Zhenhua really didn't understand.

Zheng Huailiang smiled bitterly and said: "The township has set a minimum guarantee line for us in the annual collection of retention funds. Where does a family like Qi Lei and Song Jiacai have the money to give? I gave Qi Lei a false report of 200 yuan, and he will reach the line, so I can explain to the above. ”

Zhenhua was stunned again, it turned out that there are so many operable things in rural work!

Zheng Huai lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "What I told you is the top secret of Dongwan Village, you can't talk nonsense to the outside world." I also know that you are a stable young man, so I dare to say it to you. Replace it with Qi Lei, kill me, I don't dare to say it!"

Zhenhua sneered: "Thank you Secretary Zheng for your compliment." But...... It took 400 yuan to strengthen the school building, and I don't need the consent of the township?"

Zheng Huailiang smiled:

"Our retention fund includes education funds, which can be used for the construction of education at the rural level. The old master and Principal Xu grabbed me because of the education funds collected every year, which can be directly used in the village primary school. However, the township demanded that all the money be handed over uniformly, and then allocated according to the situation. I'm caught in the middle, and I'm not a human being inside or out. These 400 yuan are all small expenses, I will cut them first and then play, and the township can't say anything. Moreover, the dilapidated house is placed there, and the lives of the students are in danger, who dares to say that my 400 yuan should not be spent?"

Zhenhua's eyes lit up and said with a smile:

"Secretary Zheng, since we can cut it first and then play it, why can't we rebuild the school building? You deduct all the retention funds and build a house directly. Then let the villagers who owe the retention money work to settle the bills. If you make a false report to the villagers, you will not only solve your expropriation task, but also take care of the villagers and build a new house for the school, won't you kill three birds with one stone?"

Zheng Huailiang shook his head and smiled:

"You're thinking too simply. If I dare to do this, Xu Jin will not dare. The flip school building is a big project, and the education committee and the township have to intervene, and Xu Jin and I are both in charge. The problem in the accounts was found out, and he and I had to leave work. I don't care, because I'm still an agricultural hukou, and no matter how big a mistake I make, no one can cancel my status as a farmer. Xu Jin is a public teacher, maybe he will be transferred to another school as a principal in a year or two, he is not worth the risk, you know. ”

Zhenhua nodded slightly, thoughtful.

Zheng Huailiang said again:

"Principal Xu is howling, being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day, his goal is not to have an accident in his office. I can't run away as the village party secretary, and I pay more attention to the problems of the school than he does. I have conceived many plans to rebuild the school building, but the conditions and opportunities are not ripe. ”

Zhenhua had an in-depth exchange with Zheng Huailiang for the first time, and also came into contact with the core secrets of Dongwan Village for the first time, which felt very fresh and complicated.

Zheng Huailiang thought for a while, and suddenly asked with a smile: "I asked you to buy meat and vegetables the night before yesterday, how much is it in total?"

Zhenhua hurriedly reported the account, and said: "The IOUs are all written by myself on their account books, with signatures and dates. ”

Zheng Huailiang was surprised and asked, "Why did you make an IOU yourself?"

Zhenhua smiled: "It's better to remember the things on the accounts clearly, after all, I handled it." ”

Zheng Huai nodded: "It seems that you are very shrewd and careful." If you keep your own accounts, you can avoid others from keeping black accounts. ”

I'll go, it seems that Zheng Huailiang knows about other people's black accounts!

Zhenhua was taken aback and said in amazement: "Secretary Zheng, I didn't say that others keep black accounts......

Zheng Huailiang smiled and waved his hand:

"Don't be nervous, I didn't say what you said. I know everything in the village, and a big account is in my heart. Qiu Houjun, a tofu craftsman, has been keeping a record of our village's black accounts for a long time, and he has made false reports of more than 100 every year. In the past two years, Wang Xiang has also learned that he has to make false reports of one or two hundred every year. As for me, I also know the difficulties of the villagers, so as long as it is not too excessive, I will forget it so-so and not take it seriously. ”

Zhenhua thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "Maybe it's not a black account, maybe it's a ......"

Zheng Huailiang smiled: "I know what you want to say, what you want to say, maybe the village cadres who handled it have falsely reported the accounts, right?"

Zhenhua smiled and let Zheng Huailiang understand.

Zheng Huailiang said: "There are individual cadres in the village, it is indeed like this, they like to falsely report the number of small expenses, taking advantage of a small advantage, which is also the reason for the family's difficulties, but the big festival is not a loss." The cadres in the village are still very good as a whole. ”

Zhenhua nodded and did not comment.

Whether it's good or not, everyone has their own standards in their hearts. Zheng Huailiang thinks it's good, but Zhenhua doesn't.

Zheng Huailiang looked at Zhenhua and said:

"Zhenhua is very honest and responsible, and he is my key training object. In this way, during the summer vacation, you write an application for joining the party, and I will solve the organizational problems for you first and become a probationary party member. How long can a private teacher be a private teacher, I can't guarantee you. However, as long as your organizational problems are solved, I can appoint you as a village cadre at any time. In the future, we can work together to build our hometown. ”

Zhenhua couldn't help but ask: "Secretary Zheng, do you think there is still hope in our hometown......? They all want to go outside to earn money, and no one puts their minds on their hometown, unless they are old farmers like my father, who have no way out but to farm at home. ”

Zheng Huailiang suddenly became serious and said:

"Why is there no hope? You can't just see the poverty you have now, you have to see the progress you have made in the past few years. You see, in the past few years, with the reform and opening up, our lives have improved a lot, right? There are many more brick houses and bungalows in the village, and every family has food to eat, isn't it much better than when you were a child?"

Zhenhua thought for a moment and nodded: "That's true." ”

Zheng Huailiang patted Zhenhua's shoulder:

"Building a hometown and getting rid of poverty and becoming rich is not a matter of one or two days, and it requires determination and patience. The state's policies are being gradually readjusted and will only get better and better, and in the past few years, it has been repeatedly ordered to lighten the peasants' burdens. I think that under such a general trend, agricultural taxes and retention funds will be abolished in the future. ”

Zhenhua was also infected by Zheng Huailiang's words, and said with a smile: "Okay, if I don't become a private teacher in the future, I will follow Secretary Zheng!"

Zheng Huailiang picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "I heard that you and Qi Lei Xiulian, under the gardenia tree, have three righteous alliances, and vowed to build their hometown." Come, let's also make a righteous decision tonight, and work together in the future to change the poverty of our Dongwan Village!"

After a pause, Zhenhua blushed and stammered, "That's nonsense...... Jokes. ”

In Zhenhua's heart, Xiulian is a lifelong pain.

The three knots under the gardenia tree are a laughing stock for a lifetime!

When Zhenhua was embarrassed, Sister Tang came from the kitchen behind her, and said with a dark face: "Still drinking and bragging?" Zheng Huailiang, I have to hoe the grass in the bean field tomorrow, can you talk less, hurry up and eat and sleep!?"

"I'm sorry to disturb Aunt Tang's rest, and I'm full...... Rest yourselves. Zhenhua's face turned red again, and he didn't have time to marry Zheng Huailiang, so he put down his wine glass and fled.

"I didn't say you, I said Zheng Huailiang!" Sister Tang said behind Zhenhua.

"I know, I know......" Zhenhua turned around and waved his hand, speeding up his pace, isn't this? You really didn't say anything about me, there are no three hundred taels of silver here!

Zheng Huailiang didn't tie the knot anymore, and frowned and looked at his wife: "Look at you, look at you, what is this for?"

Sister Tang slammed the door shut and shouted, "You wash the dishes yourself, don't count on me!"

"Okay, okay, I'll wash the dishes, I'll wash the dishes, you go to sleep. Zheng Huailiang sighed helplessly.
